TEFLer fantasy no. 16:

You can earn 1000 pounds a week as a nanny in Istanbul.

Sorry, l thought you wrote per month. Anyway, Anglo Nannies provides nannies for the richest families in Turkey. There are a lot of filthy rich people in Istanbul. If you can afford a fleet of 5 top pf the range mercedes and a ferrari, then the odd inconvenience of 1000 pounds for a nanny isn't too much. The kids l looked after wore prada and gucci, and they were only 5 years old.
If you are to get 500 a week for a few hours teaching a day, then l say go for it, BUT make sure that you don't get roped into extra hours. The famlies have a great knack of taking over your life.

I have never noticed how generous the rich are in Turkey.

If you can handle being kicked, spat on and slapped by small children, then working for a super rich family is an absolutely great way to make a huge amount of money very quickly especially if you are a live in nanny. Live in nannies used to make at least 500 pounds a week.

Here's a link to a company set up by a couple of Australian girls who nannied in Istanbul for a few years. I have met one of the girls. She told me that some clients really do pay well, but they are usually over-the-top demanding.

Thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake too..yes its co-operative - tut tut! what was i thinking...im so ashamed... Embarassed

The irony is though that i was considering language teaching here but the posts were so negative on this site that I began looking for another way of earning $$$$$...thus becoming an Anglo Nanny..
p.s you should know Miss Piggy never tells porkies..

I said 'mine is really co-operate', so when you said;

'Looks like you are really co-operate with your employer'

I thought you were taking the p***
